In settling some business with Mr Garrett to day I find (for the first time I have known it) $200– paid to Mr Giacomo Raggi which is that amt more than he should have recieved—

In your statement (to Mr Garrett) of Mr Appletons acct May 8h 1822—you state it thus

Proceeds of former remittance		$1239	.00
to be paid to Giacomo Raggi		200	.00
applicable to the capitals		$1039	.00
Whole cost of Capitals		1900
bal: to be remited clear of Exchange		861

Mr Garrett called on me for a draft for seven hundred dollars which was given without showing me your statment, consiquently I did not know of Mr Appletons being directed1 to pay the above2 $200 to Giacomo Raggi, therefore never charged him with it I give you the earlyest information I have of it that the error may be corrected if practicable by Mr Appletons with holding it if he has not paid it hoping you are in a fair way of recovering from the effects of your fall I am Sir respectfuly yours
